Why do all the supermarkets up here close at 4pm on a Sunday ?

I just wish the stores would make their mind up. Our big Tesco at Five Ways opens 10-4, but the smaller city centre is 12-6. Weird no?

It's the law Lou. Big stores are only allowed to trade for six hours on a Sunday.

I keep forgetting that law only applies in england

smurfboy - are you in Birmingham?

« **Reply #11 on:** May 07, 2006, 10:42:16 pm »

And what's wrong with Birmingham that a box of matches and a can of petrol wouldn't put right?

Tough talk from someone who lives in Scotland!

Are we getting a bit of postcode snobbery creeping in here?
